Designers use lists in a text to arrange information and allow users to navigate options faster and more effectively. When we provide visual formatting of a list, we must ensure that users with cognitive or visual impairments receive the same kind of experience.

Make sure the screen reader can jump between list options and distinguish sublists by:

• Using bullets, dashes, or asterisks for unordered lists
• Using numbers for ordered lists
• Using indents (along with bullets or numbers when necessary) for sublists
• Avoiding manual formatting
• Ensuring each list item is properly formatted with a <li> tag^[1]
